Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 715

Matthew, despite his high prestige, kept himself away from the fight for the throne. During the power struggle, Francis was defeated and Lucas was enthroned. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the dust finally settled and everything was returning to normal in the Bright Dynasty.

Harper looked at Lucas, who was dressed in the emperor's robe. He no longer looked like a sybarite, but showed the majesty of an emperor.

"It's said that fine feathers make fine birds. You look like a mighty emperor in this robe. But you'll even look like a beggar if you change into the beggar's clothes someday," Harper teased.

"Don't make fun of me, Aunt. Lucas, the current emperor of Bright Dynasty, smiled shyly. "Let's go. I'll take you to the Secret Pavilion."

Only a handful of people knew where the Secret Pavilion of the Bright Dynasty was built. It was guarded by some special forces. Anyone who wanted to enter the pavilion, except the emperor, had to pay a corresponding serious consequence.

To Harper's surprise, the unknown pavilion was built and hid under water. No one would expect it to be under the lake in the Imperial Garden, where many people came and went.

"The people who built the pavilion were so thoughtful. But since it's built at the bottom of the lake, it must be moist inside. I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to keep some important books," Harper said.

"Don't worry, Aunt. The masterminds had anticipated this when they built the pavilion, so they gave special care to preserve things. I think your concern should be on convincing the guard of the pavilion to let you in." Lucas led the way in front. The passage was brilliantly illuminated with many luminous pearls inlaid at a fixed distance on both sides. Due to this, they could easily navigate their way towards the entrance.

"Your Majesty, why did you bring other people here?" Before the three of them saw the entrance of the pavilion, they heard a cold and confused voice, which seemed to come from the young woman, who was the chief guard of the pavilion.

Lucas stopped and replied, "They want to gain access into the pavilion. So, I agreed to bring them here to see you."

"Go back. No one is allowed to enter it other than His Majesty." The guard's cold voice left no room for negotiation. If the secrets in the pavilion got leaked, it would even lead to the destruction of a country. That was why the entry was restricted, and no one other than the emperor could enter it. Even if the empress could enter the pavilion, there were limitations on the books she could access.

"I have no say in this matter. You should know the two people standing behind me," Lucas said, with the same calm expression on his face. "If you provoke the two of them, I'm afraid there wouldn't be anything left here to be called as the Secret Pavilion."

"Are you threatening me, Your Majesty?" The woman sounded impatient and annoyed. Being surrounded by her overwhelming murderous look, and due to the narrow passage, Lucas had nowhere to hide.

"Bang!" Nobody knew when Matthew approached Lucas. In a flash, Matthew blocked the oncoming attack. The woman who fought with him retreated over ten steps in a row before she could steady herself. On the other hand, Matthew stood there as motionless as a mountain, and wore a frigid expression on his face.
